It's going to be tough, not a lot of product grows in shade. Try Kale or Beetroot...I cant think of any others off the top of my head. Good Luck.

Dennis - I see you're in 'sub-tropical' so we might share similar weather. I'm in subtropical and am growing climbing Alderman peas with success at present. Touch wood (touches top of head!). You could give them a go.

Can I grow peas in the same spot year after year? It is a lot of hard work taking down and putting up the trellis they grow on

Your site lists winter as a good time to plant peas in my area, but we never plant them until late winter/early spring because harsh frosts will cause flower drop - can you comment?

We plant them in winter to late winter but have basic green shade cloth over one vegie patch and they do fine. grow thme on the edge though so they benefit from sunshine and can grow up the fence. Alternately, wait til spring and grow them up corn stalks.

Thank you for that Rhonda. I discussed it with Chris, who also lives in cool/mountain zone and I have now revised the data .
